OA? OD? RDM?

• "By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.”

Budapest Open Access Initiative 2001

Green Open Access (or self-archiving) – Around the time of publication, the author deposits a pre-print, or the actual published article, in an institutional repository for gratis use by anyone.

Gold Open Access – The author or author’s institution pay a fee to the publisher when their paper is accepted for publication. The publisher thereafter makes the material available free at the point of access (through a Gold OA journal).

Toll Access – The author submits their publication and the publisher makes it available for a fee through a database or website.

Many funders mandate OA publishing

….. etc

What do you currently advise if asked about OA?

Not so recent, and recent developments

• “Double Dipping” by publishers

• HEFCE require that any article that will be used in REF 2020 is uploaded to institutional or subject repository within 3 months of acceptance for publishing

• so all/any university staff doing research will be increasingly conscious of this

• Impact on publisher income is leading to difficulties for JISC in negotiating an offset deal

• Dutch universities taking steps to boycott Elsevier

Why is publishing data important?

• Systematic review of reboxetine, a third generation anti-depressant

• 13 trials, published and unpublished data

• (searched: Bibliographic databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, BIOSIS, and Cochrane Library), clinical trial registries, trial results databases, and regulatory authority websites)

• 74% of patient data previously unpublished

• Reboxetine is “overall an ineffective and potentially harmful antidepressant”

• Contradicts findings of previous reviews which considered only published data

Recent(ish) developments

• 1st research council made open data mandatory

• EPSRC – 1st May 2015

• How soon will others follow?
